Default 3000gt problems

I never drive my 943kgt much because i am trying to sell it but because of an oil leak in my eclipse i had to drive it 100 miles to school. I noticed that it "shivers" - like it shakes then stops then shakes like it is shivering. has anyone had this problem or know what it is?

Well, when does it shake? When you are accelerating, braking or just cruising at a steady speed? Also, just refresh my memory, do you drive an auto or manual?

hey guys since we solved that problem i need some help to. i just replaced my mass air flow sensor today and it didnt fix the problem. the problem is that my car revs up to 2500rpm and stays there. when its warming up it will be lower. what could it be?IAC and/or TPS????help me out here cause it gets real annoying when i have to shift to 2 then 1 cause it wont go into first w/o grinding. any suggestions???

So when the engine is warmed up, it idles eratically? Well, you're on the right track, it's probably related to the IAC or TPS. Just check either one first. Do you know what size tb you have? If it's60mm, you can use a cheap replacement 1g eclipse non-turbo tb. The sensor's should be the same, just double check the part numbers. Mitsu did a lot of parts sharing with the eclipse and 3kgt, so i'd imagine they would be similiar. The 1g tb doesn't cost all that much, i got mine for $20 complete with all sensors from the trader. But check those things first. Also, have you checked out www.3si.org? They're a pretty good site, they're tech articles cover just about everything.
